[Archived] Arsenal V Blackburn Rovers 2 April 2011

[booth]

We look sloppy. He's set us out badly in an already impossible game.

The only hope is if there's some individual skill, Hoilett etc...

What the hell was Emerton doing in their box?.. Bloody shoot!

[Iceman]

dont think its been that bad a start imo.

[Commondore]

Jermaine Jones adds a bit of lot needed calm to our midfield. He will be important in this relegation scrap.

[jimw1988]

gunners medical staff should take a pin to nasris head and pop that bi-atch!

[Exiled_Rover]

If that's Nelsen on one of their tarts he's getting booked. Double standards.

[TugaysMarlboro]

I'm not a Kean man myself, and I know half of you lot aren't. But don't you think you're taking the fact you dislike the bloke into consideration watching this game? We've weathered the storm so far, and have had a decent spell. Calm down, it's Arsenal.

[LeChuck]

Not a bad start actually.

Olsson and Hoilett in tandem look good. Olsson's overlapping runs allow Hoilett to drift from his wing and get more involved. Givet wouldn't offer him that freedom.

Can't see much come from the right hand side though.

[Balwer]

after a dire first 15 we've started to counter attack quite well the past 5 or 10. Fingers crossed we can keep it up.

[jimw1988]

free kicks and passes in final third have been awful!j jones doing well!

[Lathund]

Agreed. As always though, the final ball is lacking (As it has been for years really..) and we've got to do better from set pieces like that.

Can't believe Sagna wasn't booked.

[Stuart]

Why oh why is Bert on free-kick duty?

[vintageadidas]

. . . wish i could get £90,000 a week for doing what Santa Cruz does!

Could'nt agree more, gameplan seems fine and players putting some effort in.

[The Harwood Yankee]

Two chronic free kicks from Emerton. If set pieces & counterattacks are our only hope thank god we've got Olssen & hoillet running at them down the left.

[Stuart]

I actually think it's goingto plan but we need backs to the wall defending for the whole match. We've had a couple of free kicks and haven't made enough of them.

[Balwer]

wow.

[Iceman]

great stuff Hoilett

[Shabani]

We're really not playing badly, good in midfield and the gooners are getting restless

[Mercer]

Worst fears not materialised.

Arsenal not at their best.

Can sense an upset and a surprise win !

[Iceman]

phil Jones - outstanding

[rovers1993]

we will get a red today at this rate lol.

on a positive note... we have started to contain arsenal and are starting to attack abit now... looking better than the first 5 minutes but that still doesn't mean we won't get thumped as predicted.

[Iceman]

Dowd is an idiot. Not 1 Arsenal player booked yet

[rovers1993]

the two jones have been fantastic this first half. JJ showing why he was a starter for a top german club like shalke.

[TugaysMarlboro]

Wasn't keen when he first arrived, but the past few games he's really won me over. Jermaine Jones - runs on Unleaded.

[yellowsubmarine]

emerton is a waste of space!!!
